FR. CHRIS’ CATHOLIC CULTURAL CORNER
PILGRIMAGE TO IRELAND Our parish pilgrimage to Ireland in May is com-ing to its organizational conclusion. There are still 2-4 slots available for the trip. If you inter-ested, contact Fr. Renner in the Parish Office, or check out the Parish Website. We are antici-pating a very fun-filled and spiritual trip to the beautiful country of Ireland. We hope you can join us!
CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING Most of us are aware that part of the rich tradi-tion of Catholic teaching includes the area of Social Teaching and Social Justice. This understanding of God's plan and our response to it in the area of social matters is rooted in the Scriptures, particu-larly the teachings of Christ. How we live, work and interact with each other an dour created world is a vital element of Christ's teaching to his disci-ples and hence to us. The Church's social teach-ing is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tra-dition of papal, conciliar and episcopal documents. There are several key themes which are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition. These are: 1) Life and Dignity of the Human Person 2) Call to Family, Community, and Participation 3) Rights and Responsibilities 4) Option for the Poor and Vulnerable 5) The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers 6) Solidarity 7) Care for God's Creation As you can see, these broad theme touch on practically every aspect of our social interaction as members of God's Church and citizens of our plan-et. And, of course, Jesus is the ultimate teacher and guide to these essential aspects of our life an faith.
CLASS ON CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING Fr. Renner will be leading a three-week over-view class on Catholic Social Teaching. It will ad-dress the issues stated above, as well as exploring the history of Catholic Social teaching in the life of the Church. If you would like to learn more about various aspects of the Church and faith, consider the class. The three sessions will be held on Thursday, May 3, May 10, and May 17. They will be held at 7:00pm in the Spirit Center. All are welcome and invite your curious friends as well!

Next Week’s Reflection: 5
th Sunday of Easter
1st Reading: Acts 9:26-31 2nd Reading: 1 John 3:18-24
Gospel: John 15:1-8 John speaks of Jesus doing the work of the Father. He knows the love and concern of the Father. The image of the vine and the branches reveals the union between Jesus and us. To-gether the vine, Jesus, and the branches, his disciples, bear much fruit. The One who causes to grow, prunes and trims is the Father. The works of Jesus become part of the disciple. We are to live as Jesus lived, to love as he loved. Jesus not only revealed God’s love for us, he gave evidence of this love “by laying down his life for us.” To be followers of Jesus we must give witness to him by our words and deeds. FOCUS: What do you need to prune in your life?

Maria Droste Counseling Center :MDCC improves lives by helping adults, children and families overcome obstacles such as the loss of a job, emotional trauma, poverty, illness and depres-sion. MDS was formed out of the understanding that people need access to counseling regardless of their ability to pay. We are committed to serving others with enthusiasm, empathy and hu-mility and we embrace and honor diversity in all its forms. Funds will support the Options and Children First programs. Options provide affordable counseling for working poor adults, children and families. Children First provides school based counseling services to hundreds of at risk children in the Denver area, so that they can develop new skills, improve peer relationships, focus on their academic performance and succeed in school.
Respect for Life Ministry meetings are every third Thursday of the month, same time, same place.
♦ Say Yes to Supporting Foster Kids: Monday, May 15th, 7PM, in the Spirit Center. Have you ever won-dered what it takes to become a foster parent? Have you ever considered fostering and not known where to start? Have you ever wondered how you can help support foster families? Come to our information and Q&A night.

Fair Trade Products The Lenten Little Black Book discusses four levels of action for helping the poor. 1) Help those that are part of your own life. 2) Help those that are not directly connected to your own life, i.e. donations, etc. 3) Thinking about the causes of poverty. 4) By addressing the causes of poverty, the sys-tems and structures in society which impoverish peo-ple. This is where support of Fair Trade reaches small farm-ers to give them a chance for a decent life, hope and dignity of work. It's one way to address one of the many causes of poverty. We sell everything at cost, so it's more affordable for you, while supporting small farmers globally. We will be selling Fair Trade after all the masses on April 28/29.
Before you go… Please include Growing Home as
you plan for summer activities. Family vacations, cruises, pil-grimages and kids’ camp are great experiences to share. But some of our neighbors don’t have those options because they are homeless and struggling to keep their families together. Spirit of Christ will be hosting the Growing Home shelter for homeless families from June 3-10.
There are many ways to help:
• Volunteer to be an overnight host, provide dinner, set-up
or take-down bedrooms, or launder linens.
• Donate food, diapers and other needed items before the
families arrive. Remember doing works of mercy together is also a great fami-ly experience. We will have links to online sign-up for volunteering in next week’s Bulletin. We will have live sign-up for volun-teering and donations in the SOC gathering space on May 19
and 20. Please contact Vic at (303) 469-1791 or [email protected] with your questions. Thanks for your compassion.
